Sushi and Traffic

Day 2 also started off slowly when my typical 20 minute commute turned into 80 minutes due to a car fire on 394 that brought the road down to 1 lane. As I sat in traffic, I looked up MN Pass, and I just might make the purchase for situations like this...the express lane was in great shape.

Today was exciting because I got up to speed on another deal and was included in 5 conference calls. It was interesting to listen to the senior team members ask the critical questions and discuss the key dynamics of a deal. That big picture perspective is where the learning happens so I am trying to absorb it all.

To cap off the night, 3 of my teammates and I went downstairs for all you can eat sushi before heading back to it. It was delicious, convenient, and cheap!

So far I am extremely excited and it has surpassed my expectations regarding challenge, learning, office culture, and benefits. I am sure there will be many tough days ahead, but I am happy to enjoy this "honeymoon phase."
